Alcohol Marker Portraits + a big announcement | Chatty sketch with me

[@feshgogulululu]

The way she renders is amazing

[@lifewithbreion1392]

Glad youre ok emily! Good to have you back!

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Those alcohol markers were a must back in the early days of advertising and design. Just a few colors added to a black and white line drawing would really help the client visualize the final product. The good thing was, that if the client had a brand color, you could just buy that one new marker. The funny thing about commercial art and motivation is that you don't have that luxury of waiting for inspiration. You do developed ways to be creative, almost production line creativity. It wasn't uncommon to be asked to come up with several ideas about five minutes before a client came in for a presentation meeting.

[@emhuesart]

Your comments are always such a joy to read! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. 💛 I think you're spot on about "production line creativity," that is exactly what it feels like sometimes!

[@sodaswirls]

That's crazy, I cannot create if I'm not in the mood, which is why I never pursued art as a career, instead I'm in healthcare and doodle all day at work on the phone 😂

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

It's not as bad as it sounds. At art school you are taught ways to be creative on demand. Mind map for example. Or going to the brief and looking up the origins of the key words in the brief. The joke was, "the answer is always in the question".@@sodaswirls

[@mrwoodandmrtin]

Yes. the vibe with quiet inspired relaxing spiritual art production is in no way related to the very intellectual product generation process. Each has its own pace and pleasure. I often wonder at the reason for the early cave paintings. were they a religious invocation for the next season, or a practical attempt to stop the family complaining about how dingy the living room wall looked.@@emhuesart

[@zonalena112]

I have to say the woman on the second page is gorgeous! And I'm obsessed with the way You use alcohol markers

[@emhuesart]

Ah thank you so much! I wasn't happy with that one at first, but now that I've stepped away from it, I do like it! It's funny how that happens 😅🩷

[@cmeblu75]

Yes, I want to use every medium. I got to where I was really comfortable with my watercolor and instead of staying with watercolor I’m now using gouache. I got golden open acrylics and oils. I also use pastels, markers and colored pencils. I absolutely understand what you’re saying. Art is my therapy after losing my son. I just want to make good art and learned not to compare myself with others, bcuz then art isn’t fun, it’s stressful. There’s always going to be someone better, but I don’t care. I’m an art nerd too. I have so many books and have studied art history. Wishing you the best ❤

[@feuersalamander5568]

Thank you for your inspirational video. It makes me want to grab my markers and pencils immediately. Emily, I don’t want to scare you. But as I am stuck in the Long Covid hole for years now - please don’t overdo it right now. Give yourself time to heal, even though that’s a hard thing to do, especially when you run your own business. Take the time your body needs (and tells you !)

[@emhuesart]

Thank YOU for your lovely comment and support 💛 I really appreciate you! I am so sorry to hear about your long covid experience, that is so so scary. I will definitely continue to listen to my body, and I hope you do the same as well! 😊

[@chloewilliams8280]

I definitely relate to studying/focusing on improving skills and then feeling stuck once you actually see progress/having to decide which direction to go in…especially with so many visual influences online!!

[@elizathepainter8604]

You're doing great girl!! Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. Take care of yourself! Excited for the next steps of your art career

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so so much!!! 💖💖

[@lily6602]

I'm so so glad you're going to be doing oil paintings again!!! I have also been in a studying cycle rut for the past year... i feel like i can't make anything until i've studied 'enough' and only once i'm 'good enough' can i even THINK about painting something other than studies.... i hope to soon be a bit more comfortable with the medium so i can start creating things too :)

[@littletinyegg]

omg this talk couldn't be more relatable to me... the video creation weirdness and artistic head-spinning are so real. Been loving the work you've been making lately, and I'm also trying to do quality over quantity (when I can haha)

[@randominternetuser2]

This was a great video, very relatable hearing your thoughts. Art on social media is a blessing and a curse. Gotta have strong boundaries. Take care of yourself and keep making whatever art you can!

[@annalisafeleppa7391]

I hear ya, girl. It has caused me to procrastinate. It's a journey. Your fans will bear with you. We are fortunate to have all your lovely videos to rewatch and learn from. Keep up your nutrition and gentle exercise. Lots of resting. Beautiful work. 😍

[@emhuesart]

It's really nice to know that it's not just me! Thank you so much for your kind comment ❤️

[@nika_cm]

I wish I could color like you, thank you for inspiring me to draw again!

[@judithherring8220]

What a treat to watch you work and listen to your voice

[@judithherring8220]

Voiceovers. Your guidance has helped me so much as I’m a gouache newbie. I’ve found the learning curve to be pretty steep, much more than my experience with watercolors. The gouache was supposed to help me loosen up, so your signature “chunky” strokes of color was what I wanted to explore. However, the ease of your method is deceptive! You are a master, girl!! Please keep showing us your excellent work. You are inspiring as an artist and teacher. Sorry, maybe this was TMI!!

[@emhuesart]

Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment! Absolutely not TMI!! I completely agree that the learning curve with gouache is a steep one, I experienced the same thing. Just keep at it and enjoy the learning process! ❤️ I am looking forward to sharing more paintings with everyone. Thanks again! :)

[@sylvainst-pierre8725]

So glad your back. Your honesty, humanity are something needed in these days. I looked and listened to a LOT of art video's, and yours, for me, are the most refreshing and entertaining. Yes for oil painting, great idea! Less videos, more time for you to create, great idea ! Will get those brushes as soon as you annonce their availability (will they be exclusively for gouache ?) In the mean time, take care.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much for your kind words. Always a pleasure to recieve a comment from you! The brushes I'm designing won't be exclusively for gouache, but I am designing them with gouache in mind. They're going to be synthetic brushes with medium bristle firmness- so they could be used for watercolors (with a less watery approach), acrylics, or even oils. They're also going to have short-medium handles (which I prefer for gouache paintings) 💛

[@5eonghwas]

I would absolutely buy a set of brushes designed by you! I'd even pay international shipping (although I'd cry when I hit the button). And I related to so much of what you said. I'm a proper art nerd and I've been really studying other artists, which has dramatically improved my art, but it also means I desperately want to try gouache, and watercolour, and now markers... 🙃

[@emhuesart]

Aw wow, thank you SO much ❤️ I really can't wait to reveal the brushes! It's also nice to know that so many others feel this way as well. It feels like social media is both a blessing and a curse for artists. 😅

[@death_knell]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR BRUSHES!!! I really hope I am get some when they come out! Also, I’m so glad you’re feeling better! ❤✨

[@emhuesart]

Ahh thank you!! I'm really excited too! I can't wait to share them with everyone 🥰

[@death_knell]

@@emhuesart I’m sure they’ll be beautiful!!

[@maricha8193]

Love your videos!!! You inspire me a lot, Emily!!!! Take your time to make videos and don't forget to take care of yourself!!! Thank you so much for your hard work :))) God bless you!!! 💖💖💖✨✨✨✨

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind comment! Sending love your way as well! 💗

[@Tat2TankT]

😊 looks amazing don’t be so hard on yourself get well soon much love to ya ❤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you! ❤️

[@karbrowne4204]

Hi Emily I love watching you use markers, would you maybe do some more portrait tutorials, explaining which colour marker you're using as you're going, for us who would like to draw along with you? 🥰 Totally get how hard it is to focus on one thing when it comes to art, its a struggle! Whatever medium you use, its always amazing 😊

[@emhuesart]

I'm going to write this down as a possible future video! ❤️ Thank you so much!

[@karbrowne4204]

@@emhuesart Oh brilliant! Looking forward to that 😊

[@Abby_Doodles]

Wow! I was just struggling with artist “fog” or overload of art inspiration. There’s so many amazing things to do and try that I often feel drowned in it. I want to express things my own unique way but immediately feel intimidated by the unquestionably talented people. I also feel sad that my art probably won’t be found in the sea of art. I often don’t know what to do or how I want to express myself. I hope to find a balance through it but it feels like an endless challenge

[@Nelsonartelivre]

Incrível, perfeito, impressionante parabéns pelo seu desenho 😮😮😮😮

[@rebeldown771]

I'm definitely the same way with wanting to try everything--I want to practice with every medium, I get so caught up that I never end up accomplishing anything! Too much push and pull can make gridlock.

[@katsmith8263]

I'm glad you're back!

[@laurendavidson5868]

Your art is so inspirational! You have a natural talent! I always love your work

[@xoonaniart]

Love these portraits! I rly like the one where you started with the pink. It pops so much with the light green.. love it! I know exactly what you said about practicing, enjoying all the different medias, .. For me creating art for KZbin videos also is different to the art I would paint for bigger paintings, to join exhibitions f.e... . I love creating in my sketchbooks and painting small cute pictures. Playing around with new supplies.. But my goal for this year also is to paint big paintings again. I don't know yet exactly how I will do this, but I will try to make both possible. I would love to watch you painting a bigger oil painting! No matter how long I would have to wait for a new video.. Your videos are always gems here on KZbin and I'm always happy about a new one. So please do what feels right and good for you! The inner flow is the magic ✨ And I also wish you a fast recovering from nasty Covid! ❤

[@frosty_bite2459]

Aaa can't wait!!

[@alexcampbellstudio]

beautiful portraits!

[@SlushyGoblin]

For your next video could you consider doing a tutorial on how you sketch portraits from reference??

[@emhuesart]

This is on my list of videos to make! 😄

[@SlushyGoblin]

@@emhuesart yay! I’ll be looking forward to it :D

This is brilliant, I love your portrait style ❤❤❤

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@CordeliaElise]

Amazing video as always💗 I’m so so so excited for all these projects your doing!! I can’t wait! And on the subject of “focus” I feel I’m all over the place. I definitely have the urge to hop right back on my phone when I draw to read or an endless scroll for “inspiration” and then time will pass and I’ll have nothing done 😭 but I’ve been casting art KZbin videos or gaming videos on my tv while I work in my sketchbook (I played this video while I sketched hehe) this way I don’t get stuck scrolling for a video to watch and I’ve been throwing my phone in my desk drawer. But the struggle is real. Also happy to hear you are recovering from covid💓✨💗

[@kellebelle]

Designing brushes? How exciting! Congratulations and glad you're feeling better.

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! I've received the sample brushes, and have been loving them! I can't wait to share them with everyone ❤️

[@sea.of.feathers]

Absolutely love your style! Could you please share how you choose colors? Or how you see these colors in the reference? Tnx :)

[@emhuesart]

Thank you so much! This is a question I get asked a lot. I would love to make a video about it, I just need to figure out the best way to explain/ demonstrate it. I think a lot of it comes down to intuition from years of practicing, so I'll need to focus on my thought process more while I am creating. :)

[@fuzzydragons]

lovely marker portraits! and hope you are feeling better now 😀

[@emhuesart]

Thanks so much Fuzzy! Feeling a lot better now! ❤️

I went to graphics and drawing with oil pastel as a child

I have a set of oil paints that I've used only once so I'm sure you'll inspire me to bring them out. I'm excited to see your future oil videos.

[@emhuesart]

Ooh I hope so, oil painting is still my favorite. Thank you so much, as always🩷

[@thebatmanbadass30000]

You’re one of the artists that inspired me to go for alcohol markers ❤ painting isn’t for me but idk maybe seeing u will make me wanna dabble in it. But either way can’t wait to see what beautiful art u create

congrats on the collab with craftamo !! i was lucky enough to grab one of sarah burns subscription boxes and they do seem quite high quality : ) im going to guess that ur next big announcement is a print shop 👀

Thank you!! Sarah's subscription boxes look so cool! I really love the way Craftamo works with artists, they're just really great all around! 😊 Also, that's a great guess! 👀

*You don't have to kill yourself to post finished pieces. All we really wanna see is you sketch animals lol can you do a doggy video again soon? I'm craving watching you draw good boys* 🤩

[@frickenflapcraps]

I don't think that's what she means. I think she *wants* to create finished pieces.

[@emhuesart]

Haha thank you! You know I always love drawing dogs, so I can definitely do another video 🥰

You're right, I do want to take the time to create finished pieces, but it's nice to know that people will enjoy quicker sketching videos as well! 💛

[@zaczak51]

I know it’s going to be hard for you to post because it’s oil painting, but have you thought about doing a yt lives because yt want there streams to pop off so they will suggest you to ppl, and if you stay consistent you won’t loose your audience, so yes post less, but also consider streaming for all those days you do miss posting , just a suggestion, your oil paintings are going to be amazing

[@emhuesart]

That's a great idea! I have considered it, and I think you're right that youtube is really pushing livestreams 👀 I'd definitely need to take some time to learn how to do it and maybe find someone to moderate the chat for me. Thank you so much suggesting this, I'm going to consider it! 🩷
